"President Jiang asked me to stay and talk about important matters. I wonder what I can help with?" Feng Yong asked enthusiastically.
"There is indeed something very important. Only Principal Feng has this reputation in the entire Northeast. Principal Feng thought that the national strength of the Republic of China and Japan was so different, what is the disadvantage?" Jiang Li asked.
"Japan is a unified country. The Republic of China is divided, resulting in a decline in industries and people's livelihood. The powerful factions in various places fight and attack each other. However, Japan can flourish under its governance, and the gap between the two countries is getting bigger and bigger." Feng Yong said without thinking.
"Yes, the biggest drawback is that the country cannot be unified. In my opinion, the current situation may not be able to wait until the country is unified, and the Japanese army will launch a full-scale war of aggression against China. The Japanese army's ambition for China began to be exposed during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, but the last time the Japanese army swallowed Liaodong and was forced to vomit it out by the great powers. But it does not mean that the Japanese army gave up since then. Their repeated provocations in China are enough to illustrate the problem."
"Under the current situation of the Republic of China, once a full-scale war breaks out, how can we resist the surging Japanese troops?" Feng Chuyan said heartbrokenly.
"This is the issue I want to discuss with Principal Feng." Jiang Li said in a deep voice.
"I don't know what I can do. As long as I can help the country win this war, even if I fight for this life, I will sacrifice my best." Feng Yong's heart also rose to his throat at this time.
"I plan to fund some students studying in the United States in batches, or send some people to factories in the United States to study in technical schools. The number of students must be at least 1,000. These students must have many aspects such as chemistry, physics, machinery manufacturing, power research, aircraft design, ship design, etc.." Jiang Lichu estimated briefly that it was not a big problem to fund these students to study, and only a part of the funds needed.
"There are at least one thousand students, and there are also technicians. If you include living expenses and travel expenses in the United States, you will get at least two million US dollars a year. What's more, when you return to China after completing your studies, it will be at least a few years later. How can you help the country? Several years later, the war may have been announced." Feng Yong shook his head and said disagreeably.
"The territory of the Republic of China is ten thousand miles and a population of billions. Once the war starts, it will not be able to end in one or two years. Unlike the previous wars, the war is now all-round, and it is fighting industrial strength. The planes in the sky, artillery, tanks on the ground are all technical troops. This includes explosives, various alloy smelting, oil surveying, refining, engines, and fluid mechanics. If there is no aircraft, we can only be bombed. If there is no tank, we can only use our own body to block the opponent's steel fortress. If we cannot smel experts, we cannot refine high-quality steel to build various weapons, and we cannot send the aircraft to the sky. Weapons are developing rapidly now. If these tasks are not done in advance, what will we use to resist the Japanese army in the future? Even if the Republic of China is unified, what will we use to establish a country?" Jiang Li shook his head.
"Even if this is the case, after learning all this, there is no enough platform to display this expense. How can we afford it? Even the central government will not be willing to spend such a large sum of money." Feng Yong put forward the cruel reality and said, "Will the United States not have money to allow these students to attend for free?"
"I will pay this money, but I will call on the students. Principal Feng, you must take the lead. Not only the students in the Northeast, but also the students in the pass. We cannot let them be wasted in the war. Just let us soldiers come." Jiang Li said that at this time, there are nearly six years since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and only one million US dollars per year is more than three million. There is still plenty of room to do other things with that batch of gold.
"What, Captain Jiang paid this money?" Feng Yong and Feng Chuyan seemed to have heard it wrong, with an incredible look. One million US dollars was tantamount to the vast majority of people in the Republic of China at this time. Feng Yong had gained the glory of his son Feng Linge, and had only accumulated millions of dollars in ruining his family and running schools. It was still a big ocean.
"What, is Principal Feng thinking I'm bored and joking?" Jiang Li frowned.
Seeing Jiang Li's serious expression, Feng Yong put away the surprise on his face and said, "That's how Captain Jiang has made up his mind. However, after these students have finished their studies, they may not be able to use it in the midst of wars everywhere in China. Why don't you invest this money directly on the battlefield?"
"This is what I will do later. Principal Feng takes the lead and sends students abroad to make their academic success. I am responsible for building a sufficient platform for them at home to buy machinery so that they can use their knowledge to expel the Japanese army and change the destiny of the country." Jiang Li said that a plan that can support the entire War of Resistance and even helps the country's industry and military take off after the war will inevitably require a large number of top scientific and technological talents. Since he has made up his mind, Jiang Li will never follow the rules and fight against the war in the same way as the historical process. That catastrophe, at least 35 million casualties, and an eight-year dark history. These eight years were from 37 to 45 years. In fact, the Japanese invasion of China has gradually increased from 31 years, and the casualties during this period are not included.
"Okay, since Captain Jiang can make such a determination, what's the point of Feng sacrificing his life?" Feng Yong said with a firm look.
"Haha, okay, in the face of national crisis, there are always some people who have to stand up and pay. Principal Feng and I are not the first, nor will they be the last one." Jiang Li laughed loudly at Feng Yong. Such a huge sum of money was handed over to ordinary people. Jiang Li would never feel at ease. The allusion that people die for money and birds die for food does not exist in the legend.
Feng Yong withstood the pressure of the entire Feng family and turned his property into Feng Yong University, which was at least three or four million. In this era, three or four million was enough to allow one or two generations to live a lifetime with great wealth. Even before Jiang Li traveled through time, three or four million was enough to allow the family to live a worry-free life without spending money. It was definitely not for the huge sum of education worth more than four million US dollars, and the huge amount of funds to operate overseas later. Only with a character like Feng Yong can Jiang Li be trusted.
